प्रश्न
An object is placed (i) asymmetrically (ii) symmetrically, between two plane mirrors inclined at an angle of 50°. Find the number of images formed.

उत्तर
Angle between the mirrors, θ = 50o
Now, n = 360o / θo = 360o / 50o = 7.2 7, which is odd.
(i) When placed asymmetrically, number of images formed will be n, i.e. 7.
(ii) When placed symmetrically, number of images formed will be (n-1); i.e. 7-1 = 6 images
